K424 of the Collapse World

How could he be so similar to her!

But before Siegfried could finish his words, he was interrupted by the silver-haired woman's prepared answer.

"The follow-up file that the bishop gave me not long ago records the life experience of 'Cecilia'. Now, I know you are confused about my existence, but I am sorry, from a genetic point of view, I can indeed be regarded as the 'reappearance' of that person."

"..."

The window paper of this relationship was directly torn apart, and the disappointing truth was thrown out. Siegfried was a little stunned, not quite understanding what the woman in front of him was going to say.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Siegfried."

Cecilia loosened the corner of her clothes, and the trembling of her fingertips had stopped at some point.

"Although the experimental project that created me was named Creation, I don't think I can be considered Cecilia herself. To be honest, our meeting was arranged by the Bishop. Although I don't know much about his plan, please rest assured that I will never use this identity to interfere with your family."

Siegfried frowned.

He had heard similar words from Hillis before, which were obviously meant to distance themselves from the relationship. That time, he agreed to the girl giving up the name "Cecilia" because Siegfried knew very well that Hillis might have some of Cecilia's memories, but she would not be the real Cecilia.

But this time, he met a "Cecilia" who made him admit it from the bottom of his heart. Even though the other party claimed that he had no memory of Cecilia, Siegfried could feel that the resonance brought by the intimacy was definitely not his illusion...

Before this inexplicable conversation began, Siegfried also saw the surprise and attachment in the woman's eyes, as if she saw someone she had been dreaming about. But now, why did she suddenly conceal her true feelings and end the topic hastily with such a lame rhetoric?

What are you worried about?

What are you afraid of?

Why hide your heart?

"......That's it, Mr. Siegfried. Our meeting was just a bad accident. According to the original schedule of the bishop, I will be returning to the branch airport soon. I'll leave things here to you......"

After hurriedly saying goodbye, Siegfried looked at the silver-haired woman who pretended to be calm as she walked towards the elevator. As a person who acts on instinct when in doubt, Siegfried didn't want this accident to end in such a boring way.

"Wait, Cecilia."

He chased after her without hesitation, grabbed Cecilia's slender wrist, and stopped her in her tracks.

Looking at the silver-haired woman's eyes filled with surprise, Siegfried just smiled slightly and pulled her back without saying anything.

"You've said so much to me, so before you leave, can you listen to me for a while?"

Just like that, leave a seemingly reasonable excuse, and then run away from this man as soon as possible. Before those basic cognitive fragments are pieced together into "memory", stay away from this source that disturbs your sanity.

Cecilia did intend to do so.

She was also afraid of "her own memories" and would not believe that they were her own - her origin was undoubtedly the artificial human experiment of the Destiny Organization. Even if there were fragments of Cecilia's own emotions left, it was destined not to be the same person.

Cecilia's logical thinking ability is stronger than Siegfried's, so she thinks much more deeply than Siegfried. Rather than following the strong resonance of emotions and confirming each other's "identity", she cares more about what happens after the identity is confirmed. After all, she already knew the relationship between "herself" and Siegfried, so there is no need to hold on to this point.

Since she was not actually the man's wife, why should she get close to this man who did not belong to her? Even if Cecilia was influenced by that strange feeling and wanted to stay with him from the bottom of her heart, she did not want to fulfill her wish in this way.

One should not get involved in Cecilia's past.

And you shouldn't have any contact with anyone "Cecilia" knew.

Using the identity of a human to replace the image of "Cecilia" in the minds of important people. If I knew about this myself, this was pure fraud...

I'm not her, so don't come near me.

With this thought in mind, she turned around, excluded the familiar yet unfamiliar man from her sight, and ended their conversation on her own.

"Siegfried won't be angry even if I turn around and leave impolitely" - for some reason, thinking of the gentle expression of the white-haired man, she came to this conclusion in a daze.

She herself doesn't know what the basis for her judgment is.

(That's fine, just treat it as an accident...)

But the next moment, she felt her wrist tighten.

"Wait, Cecilia."

Cecilia was startled when Siegfried, who was chasing her quickly, grabbed her wrist. She turned back in confusion, but there was no surprise in her eyes.

How should I put it...If I don't do this, it won't be

Is this the Siegfried that you are “familiar” with?

She had anticipated this man's reaction, but she didn't dare to admit her guess in her heart, just like the reason why she didn't want to get close to Siegfried...

Light and shadow can never meet. As the wandering soul of the deceased, she is destined to live in the shadows. Facing the other half of Cecilia's life, parting ways and never meeting each other is the best way to deal with this relationship. At this point, what else does this man want to say?

Unfortunately, she also guessed what the man might say next. But the more she knew Siegfried's thoughts subconsciously, the more she rejected the strong emotion that kept throbbing in her heart.

I am obviously not that person, so why should I have her feelings and bear the pain that comes with these contradictory feelings?

She also wanted to follow her heart, but her mind had rejected these ideas without any explanation. As a Valkyrie of the Anbu, she seemed to have repeated this countless times by giving up her own desires in order to make the right decision.

This time, it must be...

Allowing Siegfried to hold her wrist, Cecilia looked at the man with bright eyes and once again hid her true thoughts.

She tried hard to control her facial expression and gave a polite smile.

"Mr. Siegfried, do you have any other troubles?"

Hearing this, Siegfried nodded, as if not noticing the woman's deliberate fake smile, and released her wrist.

"I'm sorry. When I saw you were leaving, I suddenly became anxious. Sorry, did I hurt you?"

"No......"

Just as she was about to answer, Cecilia bit her lip and remained silent for a moment before saying the second half of the sentence.

"I mean, thanks for your concern, I'm fine."

She wanted to give a strong answer like "A Valkyrie isn't that delicate," but when she looked at Siegfried's face, her female fragility inexplicably emerged, and she completely forgot the draft in her mind.

She lowered her head slightly to hide her unnatural expression.

"Don't worry about these little things, Mr. Siegfried."

Ignoring the increasingly strong feelings, suppressing the subconscious desire to get closer to the other person. I don't know when this conversation started, it has become a torment.

Come to think of it, why didn't she just reject Siegfried cleanly when he wanted to talk to her?

But this was just a delusion after the fact. Even if she could go back to a few seconds ago, she would still not ignore the other party's request to continue the conversation.

The only person she couldn't refuse was Siegfried...

"By the way, what's bothering you? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Bringing the topic back on track, Cecilia began to try to speed up the conversation. Hearing her words, Siegfried also put away his slightly scrutinizing eyes and coughed lightly.

"Ah, I do have a lot of worries, such as..."

Siegfried paused, looked into Cecilia's pretendingly calm eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"How can we make a reserved lady who doesn't really mean what she says stop being reserved and express her true thoughts?"

".....!;'."

The slight ripple in the woman's pupils did not escape Siegfried's eyes.

"Can you answer my questions, Cecilia? Or, let's be more frank and tell me directly, what will it take for you to take off your disguise?"

"I... don't quite understand what you mean. Also, you don't need to call me by this name, you can just call me by my experimental number drsp-702..."

"No, there's no need for a test code name or anything like that! I just like calling you 'Cecilia' and I won't change it."

Seeing Cecilia's increasingly shaken expression, Siegfried's doubts gradually faded away, and his eyes regained their usual confidence.

"I can already confirm..."

698 Unchanging Love>>

He looked at the woman in front of him and made a declaration softly:

"——You are unique, just like her."

"Unique...what?"

Cecilia had already made no effort to conceal her expression. She put away the polite smile on her face and stared quietly at the white-haired man in front of her, waiting for his answer.

"K424 - Silis Kaslana. I originally thought that she, who inherited Cecilia's memory, would become the second 'Cecilia'.

Siegfried folded his hands, his voice full of nostalgia.

"But I was wrong. 'Cilissa' will only be Cilissa. Fragmentary external memories cannot determine the essence of personality. But on this point, K423 - my other daughter Diana also proved this truth."

"Her consciousness comes from the second Herrscher Sirin. Even if she is mixed with Kiana's genes and fused with Kiana's emotions, she is still

It is Xilin, and the 'soul' of the personality essence has not changed at all."

Hearing this, Cecilia shook her head again.

"I'm sorry, but I still don't understand... If Miss Shilis, who has the memories of 'Cecilia', can't become 'Cecilia', then I, who have no memories at all, am even further away? Are you simply obsessed with this appearance? I don't think so."

"Of course not! Well... Actually it's not that complicated. I said so much because I suddenly felt that the concept of 'soul' in the non-material theory might not be false."

Looking into Cecilia's eyes, Siegfried's gaze was more solemn than ever.

“Although you don’t have Cecilia’s memories, you have Cecilia’s soul.”

——!

Cecilia's expression instantly showed horror.

"You...what weird things are you talking about?"

"This is not a strange statement. This is the answer I got after thinking about it. Although there is no basis for judgment, my intuition is very accurate! Moreover, this kind of touch from the depths of the soul...you can also feel it, right?"

Siegfried stated the facts in a calm tone that the other party could not refute.

"..."

"How long do you want to deceive yourself?"

Following Siegfried's soul-searching question, the woman fell completely silent.

As expected, it will turn out like this.

It was a subtle feeling. It was like playing a minesweeper game and closing your eyes and clicking into a minefield that was marked in advance. Although the process was unpredictable, this conversation that anticipated the outcome seemed to only prolong the time of inner struggle...

"But the soul... Based on your unfounded guess, I would rather believe that those resonances and feelings are my illusions than believe in your so-called 'soul'."

"The resonance between two people's feelings can't be an illusion. Besides, are those touches really just illusions? Stop hiding it and answer me with your heart! Cecilia!"

"I......"

No, this can't go on!

I am just a man-made person of the Destiny Organization. I can never be your deceased wife...

Just as she was in confusion, Siegfried made an unexpected move.

"Eh--?!"

He took a step forward, and amid Cecilia's exclamation, he hugged the silver-haired woman in his arms.

"This time, I won't let go...Cecilia, your feelings and emotions are definitely not fake, please! Even if it's just this once, please follow your heart and make a decision!"

"..."

Feeling the warm and solid chest, Cecilia opened her eyes wide. At this moment, as the desire hidden deep in her heart was finally realized, an unimaginable sense of happiness surrounded her at this moment...

So sweet, so gorgeous, like an addictive magic potion, just like the experience that once existed in the fragments of memory.

At some point in the past, I had also nestled in this warm chest like this. This kind of joy of the soul is by no means a fragment of the personality left by "Cecilia", but my own personal experience...

Shadows cannot blend with light? Then, it would be enough for them to be completely swallowed by light, right?

"......"

The silver-haired woman raised her trembling hands and gently hugged them back to Siegfried's back, using this action as her answer.

From the moment she acknowledged this relationship, there was no need for further words between the two of them.

"Cecilia..."

Siegfried whispered and hugged the person in his arms even tighter, as if he was hugging his entire world.

No other actions are needed, just being close to each other, the two incomplete feelings have complemented each other into one...

"Mr. Siegfried... Although it seems a little late to say it now, I still want to know. The Cecilia you regard me as, is it the real Cecilia Shaniat? Or another brand new 'Cecilia'?"

The woman asked softly, looking up at the tall, white-haired man, the emotions she showed no longer restrained.
